There’s a limit to how successful we’ll allow you to be. We’ll cheer you on and support you up to a point, but suddenly we’ll turn on you and rip you to shreds. This is true in all aspects of life, but especially so in the arts. Musicians and movie stars have it the worst … Continue reading
It’s a good day when I can bring you one thing from the Apatowverse, and today I’m bringing you three things. The greatness of this offsets your dog/mother/baby dying or you getting dumped for a guy with a fauxhawk* or those weeping red sores on your genitals. Yes, this is just that good. ITEM #1! … Continue reading
Empire Magazine is doing this neat thing where they’re slowly unveiling a new image of the Joker over the next few days. The only problem is that the image is the cover of their next issue, and someone has already sent out a jpg of that cover, thus killing their reveal. Sorry, good and liked … Continue reading
I always wondered if some of those stolen Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull* pictures would ever hit the web. I always figured they would appear on one of those Russian film sites that seem operate as if they’re beholden to no copyright law known to God or man. Now three pictures … Continue reading
This feeling… what is it? If forced to describe it, I might say I was… excited about a Tim Burton movie. It’s been years since I’ve felt this way – maybe a decade or more? – and it’s weird. But it’s also nice. I am psyched about Burton’s version of Sweeney Todd. I’m not 100% … Continue reading
OFN: Old Fuckin’ News.

We try to stay cutting edge. But sometimes things fall through the cracks, even with the … Continue reading
If nothing else, the poster for Whiteout made me reread the original Greg Rucka/Steve Lieber graphic novel. See, the poster has all this text on it and some of the text says ‘serial killer.’ I didn’t remember there being a ‘serial killer’ in the book, but I hadn’t read it in a couple of years. … Continue reading
I may have talked too much about the Watchmen set in previous updates, so I’m going to say as little as possible here. The official Watchmen site has updated with pictures of the Vancouver backlot that’s standing in for New York City. It looks pretty terrific in these pics, but more importantly: One of the … Continue reading
In Bruges is the opening night film of the Sundance Film Festival. I don’t want to go off on another tirade about the faux-indie quality of the festival these days (since I am currently awaiting press accreditation!), but it’s worth pointing out that Colin Farrell in a hitman comedy isn’t exactly edgy indie fare. It … Continue reading
There’s a good chance that many of you reading this know Max Headroom only as 80s nostalgia*. You never experienced Max firsthand, whether as a talk show host in England, where he got his start, or a commercial pitchman in the US. And even if you’re old enough to have been around when Max Headroom … Continue reading
